 Summer means time for many cities and towns to host festivals where residents all come together to remember what makes their home so special. The town of Hackensack is no exception to this tradition and over the last week they have been celebrating sweetheart days. In honor of Lucette, Paul Bunyan's sweetheart. There were several activities all week, including a parade and also a garage sale, the benefit the Legion auxiliary. It was about three months worth of planning, which I think next year we're going to try to add a little bit more time to that so we don't have the last minute details to try and rush through and get ready for, but again it's all the different organizations coming together and we work together to get it organized. The community of Hackensack is proud of their sweetheart days traditions and continues to think of new events each year in order to keep growing.
